Notes for Jonas SHAW:

The History of Patton Cemetery Bolivar Peninsula, Galveston County, Texas

The plat is 30 yards square, consists of 0.19 acres, and is 503.5 feet from the southeast corner of the Jonas Shaw Survey.4 According to A. L. Daniel, of the AARP, the present owner of the land adjacent to the cemetery, Mr. Bob Wicker, has offered to donate a bit of land around a grave that extends beyond the original plot.

It seems desirable to begin with the history of the Shaw Survey and with some of the relationships of the buried persons to each other, and to note the subsequent changes of land ownership in this area. Before progressing further, this study will deal with the family members of Jonas Shaw, who were closely associated with this cemetery. (See Table 2.)

Jonas Shaw surveyed a portion of the Bolivar Peninsula in the early 1830s, when Mexico had ownership. In 1836, after the capture of Santa Anna and the routing of the Mexican armies at San Jacinto, Texas became a Republic. It so remained until 1845, when it was made a state of the United States, seceding temporarily with the Confederacy during the Civil War (1861-1865).

In the 1840 Texas census, Jonas Shaw was listed as having 4620 acres of land under survey, based on a grant, but without final title conferred by the Grant Land Office.5 The land on Bolivar Point was patented to him by the state of Texas on May 12, 1846.

The area encompassed in Shaw's survey is shown in Map 16 (copy attached). It is a rectangular area completely including the Peninsula from the Gulf to East Bay, bounded on the west by the Samuel Parr Survey, which was made during the same time period, and on the east by the Van Nostrand and Burrell Frank early surveys.

Jonas Shaw leased 400 acres on the west end of his survey to Edmund Jacques Ridout and Josiah B. Benjamin (of Galveston). The lease was to endure until his youngest son (John M.) Was of age, which was nineteen years old, and the charge was one dollar plus one peppercorn per year. Ridout immediately sold his portion of the lease to Benjamin for $50.00. Frank H. Merriman and I. Vansike were witnesses.7

In 1847, Jonas Shaw died and left no will. On November 3, 1848, Martin Dunman, guardian of one of the heirs, Robert Lyons Shaw, filed a petition with the courts for Partition and Division of the estate among the heirs. A committee of three was appointed, namely Pryor Bryan, George Bryan, and Thomas B. Bryan, and the official decision was published on February 25, 1850 (photostat attached). 8 A daughter, Mary Ellen (Shaw) Dorsett, and her husband, William Dorsett, were also concerned in the partition. The youngest son, John M., had died in February of 1847. Pryor Bryan was to be the guardian of Amelia (Camelia) Shaw, but she was married in 1849 to Charles R. Patton.9 The three remaining minor children--Franklin D., Walter B., and Julia C.--were placed under the guardianship of Oscan Fausch, clerk of the court. There was also a son, William D., who was no longer a minor, and in 1849 the oldest son, Robert Lyons Shaw, had married his guardian's ADOPTED daughter, Sarah Dunman. DAUGHTER OF JOHN DUNMAN AND ADELINE BARROW-DUNMAN. JOHN WAS THE BROTHER TO MARTIN DUNMAN. JOHN DIED IN 1840 ANDADELINE DIED IN 1841. MARTIN DUNMAN HAD ALSO HAD A DAUGHTER SARAH DUNMAN WHO MARRIED WILLIAM REEVES. 10 The widow, Mrs. Amanda Shaw, was to remain administrator of the estate and to have control of her half of it, with the remainder divided proportionately among the other heirs, Mary Ellen Dorsett and her husband were awarded property in the westernmost part of the estate. Debts to Franklin H. Merriman, H. H. Hitchcock, and E. C Franklin were to be paid from the community estate.

On September 27, 1852, the widow of Jonas Shaw, Amanda C. Shaw, died without leaving a will. Her son, Robert

Lyons Shaw, was also dead as of March 2, 1852. Probate records showed the estate holdings to be 3204 acres of land on Bolivar Peninsula and one labor of land on Cedar Point. Her oldest living son, William D. Shaw, was appointed administrator of the estate.11

(neighbors are Henry Wilcox family and E. M. Bates family)

There is a pioneer cemetery on the Bolivar Peninsula, located within the presently incorporated town of Crystal Beach, Texas. To reach this graveyard, one turns from State Highway 87 between the Ship's Inn building and the new waterslide, onto a crossroad leading toward the intracoastal canal. On the left, about 100 yards away, is a culvert that was established several years ago by the local American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) Chapter 1591. There, in a complex of native trees plus some cultivated plants gone wild, one sees several inscribed tombstones, rather randomly situated.

In 1954, Mr. W. T. Hawes, of the Galveston County Engineering Department, listed the names and data on the six gravestones he discovered while making a survey in that area. (See Table 1.) At present, there are only five stones in position, in various stages of preservation: 1) The Milton Yates marker is erect and well preserved, and the grave is surrounded by a crude fence consisting of four corner metal pipes held together by several strands of heavy wire; 2) The stone of Robert Lyons Shaw is in generally good condition with rather elaborate carved designs, but a small piece of the upper right corner is missing; 3) The Patton gravestone lies flat on the ground and broken into several large pieces. The inscription is complete and in good condition, except that it gives only the name Patton, aged 46 years, and the death date of July 1, 1872. A separate stone has the initials C. R. P., which probably refers to C. R. Patton; 4)

ROBERT LYONS SHAW

Robert Lyons Shaw was born on May 5, 1829 in Louisiana and died on December 6, 1852. He married Sarah Dunman, who was born in 1833 in Texas. SARAH WAS THE DAUGHTER OF JOHN DUNMAN AND ADELINE BARROW-DUNMAN, JOHN DIED IN 1840 AND ADELINE DIED IN 1841. MARTIN DUNMAN, JOHN'S BROTHER WAS GUARDIAN OF SARAH DUNMAN AND HER BROTHER ROBERT DUNMAN. MARTIN DUNMAN ALSO HAD A DAUGHTER NAMEDSARAH WHO MARRIED WILLIAM REEVES.

Robert Lyons was the eldest son of Jonas and Amanda Shaw. He was placed under the guardianship of Martin Dunman, who was born in Louisiana in 1804, during his father's land survey in the late 1830s. When Jonas Shaw died in 1847 leaving no will, M. Dunman appealed to the courts, in the name of his charge, for partition of the estate. The estate, which was considered familial property, was left under the guardianship of the widow, Amanda Shaw, except the portion for the married daughter, Mary Ellen Dorsett, and her husband, William L. Dorsett. In the meantime, Robert Lyons married his guardian's ADOPTED daughter in 1849. When Robert Lyons Shaw died in 1852 his estate was probated.23

THEIR IS CONFUSION ON THE TWO SARAH DUNMAN'S BEING RAISED BY MARTIN DUNMAN

NOTE: SOME INFO BEEN CHANGED FOR THIS REASON..ROBERT LYONS SHAW'S WIFE SARAH DUNMAN, DID NOT MARRY WILLIAM REEVES (MARTIN'S DAUGHTER SARAH DUNMAN DID) Sarah (Dunman) Shaw, was married to William Reeves, who was born in New Jersey in 1816. He had been a boarder in her father's house on the peninsula. In the meantime, Martin Dunman had acquired much property, especially that deeded to him by the Burrell Franks survey. When Dunman died in 1854, he left much property to his widow, Elizabeth, and she left to the Reeves. When the latter moved to another county, they sold much of their property on the peninsula.

It is believed that the death date for Robert Lyons Shaw is not correct. When visiting the cemetery in which he is buried to try to view the headstone, it is discovered his headstone is missing (or possibly covered by overgrowth of weeks and vines.

(Shaw and Merriman families lived on both sides of this family)

Notes for Robert DUNMAN:

He was living with Martin and Elizabeth Dunman 1850 Port Bolivar, Galveston Co., TX. I do not believe he is the child of Martin and Elizabeth. It appears their children are listed and then there is Robert and 2 others (Zlypha and Joseph). Martin would be his uncle (father's brother). His father died in 1840 and his uncle and aunt were caring for him and his siblings? I have no death date for his mother.
